No, it means don't stop me from using my time to get my tan.

Similar. Or simply: Here's the good part.

Don't make a face like you are kissing someone.

Yes, that is how pigs find truffles.

Pimps are managers for prostitutes, and the stereotypical pimp has a very garish style of clothing and cars. So in modern slang, to pimp means to decorate something in a very showy or garish style. And "ride" is slang for your automobile (car, van, truck, motorcycle, whatever).
